Description
A terrace of four houses built around 1840. The houses are constructed from squared and watershot coursed stone, with some areas painted, and have a hipped slate roof and brick chimneys. They are arranged as two storeys and a four-window facade, with each house having a double-pile plan. The doorways are framed by plain painted stone architraves, and the windows have been replaced but retain the original opening configuration with wedge lintels. Moulded stone brackets support the gutter line. There are three ridge chimneys. The interior of the houses has not been inspected. The terrace was built as part of a model factory community established by the Ashworth family, associated with New Eagley Mill, between 1835 and 1855, alongside Ashworth Lane, Eleanor Street, and Hugh Lupus Street.
